Winners of the game: the FP7 and H2020 Death Stars
The FP7 and H2020 stable partnership graphs are very cohesive. Both display cores of highly connected nodes that are also densely connected to each other. To discover them, we computed a full decomposition of both networks into [k-cores](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degeneracy_(graph_theory)#k-Cores). Both cores for the maximal value of k turned out to be unusually large and densely connected. This is an indicator of assortativity (high-degree nodes connect preferentially with other high-degree nodes) and clustering (a node’s neighbours are connected with high probability). We have come to call these cores the [Death Stars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Star) of FP7 and H2020. The FP7 Death Star includes 44 organisations connected by 908 edges; the H2020 one includes 78 organisations connected by 2,778 edges.
There is a high continuity between the Death Stars of the two framework programmes. 21 organisations already in the FP7 Death Star are also in the H2020 one.
